Banana plant
Yeah, I also got a couple of BIG leaves. This plant it lovely!
When I bought it I was told that those green babanas are the roots. Now I see that it wasn't right. The plants grew so many "normal" white long roots like any other plant. Do you have the same? -- -- Cheers, CichlidGeek Visit my aqua website at www.cichlidgeek.da.ru Remove word "REMOVE" from email if you want to send me email. "wigwack" wrote in message ... Oh gawd, mine was relentless at sending out those things when I first got it. As I understand it, it's trying to reach for the surface, like a lily or something. So I kept cutting those things off, until finally I gave up and I let one grow to see what happened. Well, it wasn't that spectacular, and it was annoying if I had to catch a fish or something, so I cut it back, and I haven't had another one since. Now it seems to put effort into the underwater leaves...which are BIG and really nice now. "CichlidGeek" wrote in message . .. I have two banana plants and one of them grew two long (~20 inch) stems with a leaf at the end. I was just wondering if I need to cut these stems and plant them separately. Will they grow? Does anyone have any experience doing that? Thanks in advance. -- -- Cheers, CichlidGeek Visit my aqua website at www.cichlidgeek.da.ru Remove word "REMOVE" from email if you want to send me email. |

Banana plant
Yep yep...
my LFS guy told me to not actually submerge those bananas more than about 1cm. I also read that you can just pop it there, and it will soon root itself in. Mine has HUGE roots going along under the sand. and one or two new tubors also, which remain above sand. I saw one of these plants in a shops personal aquarium, and it was even bigger...really lovely. |
